7 Reasons People Laugh About Your Ovens
This Professional has all of it.
We liked the looks of this Frigidaire Professional series when it surfaced in the Kitchen
And Toilet show earlier this season, but we were not positive if the cheap appliances could
Now, we can definitively say that the Frigidaire Professional FPEH3077RF electrical
Range (MSRP $2,499) will not disappoint those who want a serious kitchen update.
Frigidaire claimed the Professional series was cheaper than a true pro-style
Range, but a sale price of $2,000 certainly does not count as affordable.
Shelling out for style and performance, boy does this freestanding range deliver.
It is a stunning centerpiece for an all-electric kitchen, with a 5.1 cu.-ft. oven cavity that
Distributes heat evenly for perfect baking conditions. The 30-inch electric rangetop offers
Versatile temperatures and fast boil times on each burner.
True pro-style electrical ranges are few and far between. So unless you want a bigger
Oven or a lower cost--or you have decided to go with induction--we can't think of any
Reason why you wouldn't need to take this beauty home with you.
Design & Usability

Ranges that lack backguards, but fit in a standard freestanding cutout.
It's a handsome range, covered in a flat expanse of smudge-proof stainless steel and
Topped with a black electric rangetop. Handles are shiny and set into pro-style
Brackets--a look that stands on its own without mimicking pricier models. A storage
Drawer fits below the 5.1 cubic-foot oven cavity.
Inside the cavity, you'll find a gliding rack and two standard racks. Control the oven with
Knobs located near the center of the panel, on either side of a digital display screen, and

Versatile enough for all your cooking needs

Oven, Broiler, & Convection
You are in for a treat: The FPEH3077RF's
We baked a batch of cookies using the Conventional bake setting, then another batch using
convection. In both cases, the cookies were evenly browned across the Whole cookie
Sheet, especially convection, which yielded a degree of evenness that flirted with
perfection.
When we baked two cakes side by side using standard bake, then convection, we again

setting. This is a fantastic oven, end of story.
Preheat times were not too shabby either: about 11 minutes for every setting. The broiler
Reached ideal heat in about 5 minutes.

Frigidaire Professional FPEH3077RF is too expensive to call a "good deal," but the truth is
It is just plain "good."
Includes a slew of versatile burners to pick from.
Oven capacity may be a little on the smaller side, but it's hard to go wrong here,
Particularly if--like us--you appreciate that slide-in-inspired aesthetic, and a minimalist
Design that doesn't go overboard.
